I love this season too and he's not local to me. I mean as far as The Bachelor goes, this season's definitely great.

I love Jillian.

Shannon needs to go first and foremost. Between her weirdo-stalker ways and her overly white teeth she drives me insane. And then Megan.

Could they just PLEASE go next week.

With Shannon, I'm worried that she is going to have a breakdown, she is WAAAAAY too stressed.

With Megan, I'm worried that she is going to do a beatdown on some poor girl. She is WAAAAY too much of a biatch. Hate her!

If 3 go, I hope the other is Stephanie, I love her (in a maternal way) I just want to shield her from the joke that this show is. She needs to find a good guy and if the exposure from the show helps her, then great, but she needs to get off this merry-go-round.

I think both Melissa and Jillian are great. They have the right temperament for being "contestants" on this show. IF it works out great, if not - Oh Well....

The previews made it look like Jason gives one less rose than he's scheduled to for next week. I'm thinking he doesn't want to keep someone hanging on who he knows isn't right and/or who is causing trouble in the house. I'm thinking Shannon, Megan and Stephanie.

Shannon Shannon Shannon... sweetheart.... desperation is never sexy.

I think maybe he'll keep them all?

So glad he got rid of who he did tonight.

Shannon, while I'm sure is a pretty girl in real life has so many unattractive faces on TV. That coupled with being absolutely desperate was just NOT working for me.

And what in the world was with Lauren!? Talk about having no class. Being direct is one thing. Being a classless brat is another.

At the moment I'm rooting for Jillian, Molly and Melissa the most. Still won't be sad to Naomi (who's totally friend material) or Stephanie (super sweet, just don't see her as being for Jason) get the boot.

[AGDee]

Well, I was off by one. I really like Stephanie but agree that I don't see her as being for Jason. I was surprised he didn't cut her loose last night. Then again, she's probably the most mature of them all. She seems very maternal but almost too sophisticated/refined/elegant for him. He seems to have a silly side and I'm not sure I see that in her. How many times did I hear "It's not fair" last night? It always bothers me when women are rejected and their thoughts go to "What's wrong with me?" instead of understanding that it's just not a good fit. So much of "clicking" with someone is undefinable. Sometimes, there is NOTHING wrong with that person, they just aren't "right". I couldn't help but wonder if him keeping Naomi has something to do with all that kissing during those all those takes. I'm thinking Melissa for the end.

Ding dong the witch is dead!! SOOOOO glad that Megan finally got the boot.

I will give her credit though for not letting loose with a string of four letter explatives at the end (which is more than I can say for her the rest of this season).

Also glad to see Shannon gone - totally agree that desperation is NOT attractive or sexy. The pathetic expression she had on her face during the rose ceremony was enough to put off any rose giving!

Anyone else notice the song lovely Lauren sang at the end? It was all about being famous and how rich she'll be (be able to shop anywhere and no worries about cost). It was quite telling about what her motivations for coming on the show were. Glad she's gone as well.

Please, someone be watching this show and see what a jewel Stephanie is! I hope she gets set up on wonderful dates and finds true love again. She deserves it - she is a total class act!!

I did feel sorry for Nicki, but she's not right for this show either. I hope she can gain some self confidence and get over the sorrow of the 11 year relationship dump.

Speaking of that, I know a number of women who that has happened to (two examplse -my cousin and my college roommate) - where they have dated either a highschool or college sweetheart for YEARS, only to be told shockingly that while the man loves them, they are not in love with them anymore and don't want to marry. Inevitably, the man ends up marrying pretty quickly after that (the next good one who comes along), while the woman lives bitterly single for years after.... SAD.

I'm thinking this applies to more than just The Bachelor

I'm so glad Jason did what he did last night. None of those final three ladies were right for him. Shannon is creepy, Lauren is rude, and Megan...well, enough's been said about her About the Stephanie & Nikki date, on his blog Chris Harrison said that Jason deliberated for about an hour before deciding. I think if it had been Stephanie & Lauren or Nikki & Shannon (or some combo like that), both Stephanie and Nikki would be here. However in the end I don't think Nikki was right for Jason anyhow.

Next week should be interesting. I still favor Melissa, Molly, and Jillian - but I want to know when DeAnna is coming back! Drama!

I can actually say that I like all of the women left so far. It will be interesting to see what their takes are on Seattle. As nice as Stephanie is, I can't see her living in Seattle...she just seems too polished and perfect, whereas Seattle is best for people who are casual, laid back and a little quirky, I think. Compare that to Jillian, who lives just a couple hours north of us in Vancouver.

Absolutely! We, as women, really need to stop beating ourselves up like that!

[texas*princess]

I really like Stephanie, but like many of you said, I don't think she'll win. I hope he's not leading her on.... it seems like she's the only one he hasn't full-on made out with (?)

And that girl (was it Holly who had the single date? I don't remember her name) sounded like such a hussy when she got home. "Oooooooooh it was soooooooooooo nice and we didn't sleep allllllllll night! Ooooooh I'm sooooooooo tired! I don't know how he's going to stay up for your date b/c he didn't sleep all night either!"

[AGDee]

It's Molly. Did she even mention that they were in a tent when she was telling the other women?

[texas*princess]

I don't remmeber her mentioning that...

Argh! It's so hard to tell who it's going to be! Most of them are brunettes left!

[texas*princess]

Did I miss it?

It seems like so far the only one he hasn't asked the whole "if I go to your hometown, who would I meet what would we do, etc" is Stephanie?
